Taiwan Weather in October

Weather: Autumn is the best time of the year for travel, with pleasant weather. Average low and high temperatures are 23 °C (74 °F) and 26 °C (79 °F), cooling a bit from the summer heat, especially in the north.

Clothing: Summer clothes are suitable during the day, but in early morning or evening you may need a light coat or a cardigan. It still rains occasionally, so umbrella and mosquito repellant are needed.

Things to Do

The Mid-Autumn Festival: The annual holiday is the second biggest traditional Chinese festival. It usually falls in September, but occasionally the public holiday is in early October. You can take advantage of Taiwan's subtropical climate to enjoy the festival in comfort. Mountain climbing in autumn is very popular among the local people.

Taroko Gorge: One of Taiwan's most popular national parks has a long narrow gorge surrounded by very tall peaks with big forests that turn color with the season. Entry is free, but you need a permit for entering the wilderness areas. Contact us for help to book train tickets.

Travel: October isn't a high travel month except around the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a busy travel time all over the country. During the festival period, flights to Taiwan and between Taiwan and China may be difficult to get. Let us help you book flight tickets.
